THE POST OFFICE SITE.
Some Suggestions Which Mr.. Nor
wood Makes About 1t.


SAVANNAH, Nov. 3.-E'ditor Morning
Net0S: Should Mr.. Guerry, the United
States District Attorney, report favorably
on the question of tit g to the
barracks lot the sale to the government will
be perfected within few days after his re-
port. Should he report unfavorably, the
Secretary of Treasury will, no doubt, pro-
coed at once, under the recent act of the
Georgia Legislature, to condemn.
There are some citizens who object to the
barracks site for post office because 1T is
too far from the present business centre.
There are others who object because the
purchase by the government will defeat the
project for large hotel.
beg to say to both classes of our citizens
that it is not too late, in my opinion, to
secure the whole of the barracks lot for a
hotel, and to have the post office nearer the
business centre. Mr.. d. q. Purse is willing
to let any gentleman, or number of gentle
men, have the barracks lot without any adj
vance in price if they will secure another
site for the courts and post office Satisfac-
tory to the government and | here express
my willingness to cooperate with them in
any effort to induce the Secretary of Treas
ury to accept another eligible site. But, If
action is taken, it must be done speedily
and before the Secretary of Treasury closes
the pending negotiations for site
If nothing should be done by those who
object to the site selected tthe barracks) and
the building shall be placed there, | have
no doubt, as | said in my speech at Masonic
Hall, that a subsidiary post office can be
arranged for in the custom building, after
the courts have been provided for elsewhere,
and | shall endeavOr to have one estab-
lished. T. NJ. NORWOOD.

Arrow Throwing-A Yorkshire Sport.
From the ST james Gazette.


A "Yorkshireman" sends to the Standard
the following description of the game OF
arrow throwing, to which we referred on
Monday. The Yorkshire ''arrow throwing"
consists in throwing an arrow the greatest
distance and not in aiming at mark, the
ground from the standpoint being measured
out into spaces. each 20 yards apart, radlat-
ing from the center or standpoint, and
which are generally marked by small
branches or twigs stuck into the ground, ana
called scores - the one throwing the most
'scores" winning the match, say out OF
about 80 or 40 throws. The arrow IS not
iavelin or assegai, but very similar TO the
arrow used in modern archery, though
without any feathers at the base or metal
at the point. 1t is generally made of light
soft wood, varying in length from : to
feet according to the fancy of the thrower.
1t is rather thicker at the point than the
base, and sometimes is made of two different
kinds of wood, box being used for the point
and willow for the base. The method OF
throwing is as follows: The 'thrower" takes
a stout piece of whip-cord, about yard and
a half in length, a knot being tied at one
end, so as to form button, round which
the cord is 'hitched,n after having been
passed round The base end of the arrow, and
few inches from that end; the cord is then
brought down to the point, which the
thrower holds in his hand, the cord being
perfectly tight and parallel to the arrow to
prevent it slipping from the button" or
knot. at the base until it is released in the
act of throwing. The ''thrower' then passes
the remainder of the cord round his hand, in
order to insure better grip, and, taking a
run of several yards, as a bowler does at
cricket, throws the arrow with jerk, over
hand, as one would throw a ball or stone,
the cord slipping from the arrow and over
the knot as soon as the necessary impetus is
given. A really expert 'thrower" will gener
ally throw i'll a match at least from nine to
eleven 'score"-i. e., $50 TO 220 yards every
throw, his best efforts reaching as high as
thirteen or fourteen ''score"

A ROMANCE
Which is Without Any Foundation
Whatever in Fact.

Which is Without Any Foundation
Whatever in Fact.
The Hartford Times which reached this
city yesterday contained the following:
romantic marriage has Just come to light,
in which two young people well-known in New
Haven figured as principals They are Clifford
w Hartridge, one of Yale's crew at New Lon
don in June last and Miss Nellie F. Gallagher,
pretty young lady of New Haven Mr.. Hart
ridge is a resident of Savannah, Ga, and his
family is one of the wealthiest of that place.
Hsr:ridge had not been long student at Yale be-
fore he became acquainted with Miss Gallagher,
who was at that time employed i'll Il dry goods
store They were secretly married within q few
months the bride remained in New Haven, and
Hartridge's relatives knew nothing of the
affair until they came here recently to investi
gate.
Mr. Clifford w. Hartridge, above referred
to, is the son of Maj A. l.. Hartridge, of
this city. He is at present law student in
Columbia Law School, and is also reading
law in the Office of one of the most prom
inent law firms in the city of New York
Mai. Hartridge was asked yesterday if
there was any truth in the above notice.
He was greatly surprised when he read it,
and declared at once that he did
not believe there was any truth in
it. Indeed, SO confident was he that
it was without any foundation that
he unhesitatingly said that 1T was pure tic-
ton. He at once telegraphed his son noti-
flying him that the paper containing the
publication had reached here Yesterday
afternoon he received from his son the fol-
lowing: Il have just received your tele-
gram only saw the lie yesterday. | am
going to New Haven and Hartford to-mor-
rows This settles the question as to whether
there is any truth in the publication. Doubt
less Mr.. Hartridge will find that some enc
my at Hartford has taken this means to do
him an injury.

Cable Street Cars.

There was rumor afioat few days ago
that this new street railway, which is TO go
to the Central railroad wharf and through
the city, was to be run by cable, like the Chi
cago street railway This would probably
cost more money in the start but would
prove more profitable in the long run, as so
many more trips could be made in day,
and parties having important business to at
tend 20 at the Central railroad wharf, could
get there in very little time. Just the
same at Appel & Schauls, the One Price
Clothiers; it takes you no time to get an
outfit at their establishment, as every arti-
Gle is marked in plain figures with the lowest
price to all on same, thus saving an hour or
two argument on the price, etc.
Their plan of doing business is sufficient
for those that are not judges of goods to buy
with confidence, knowing their friends do
not buy the same goods for less money, and
those that are judges are invited to call and
inspect prices to convince themselves. Their
fall and winter stock has been received, and
are ready for inspection-163 Congress

THE NAPLES CREW PROTESTS.

Another Wet Cotton Case to Be Tried
The Resolutes Cargo to Be Reloaded.
The Naval Court is to resume its sitting
this afternoon to hear the case of the crew
of the Naples VS.. Capt Ruff. This is a
similar case to the one tried last week. The
cargo of the Naples caught fire and the cot
ton was damaged, and now the crew refuses
to take the vessel to sea If the wet cotton is
reloaded. The Resolutes case will soon
come to a crisis. Capt. Reavely has re-
ceived orders from the owners to reload his
cargo and take it to Liverpool, and the cap
tain will act in accordance with these in
structions. The crew say they will not take
the cargo across under matches and they
dare the captain to try and make them. II
seems pretty certain that in the end they
will be discharged and volunteer crew will
take the ship across.

With "Toodles'' and "a Round Trip"
Mr.. John s. Clarke closed his Savannah
engagement last night before fair audience,
though not by any means AS large as the
performance merited. A double bill was
presented, "a Round Trip" Mr.. Clarkes
new play, and "Toodles," in which
he has made his great success.

disgusting, but irresistibly funny. 1t stands
out in framework of the crudest construc-

pretty daughter, her sailor lover, the bad
man, "Grimes," and the long-lost brother.
The audience laughed whenever Mr.. Clarke
came upon the stage simply because it
couldn't help it. He was "Toodlesn as he
had been ''Dr. Pangloss' and Ezekiel Home
spun," and in all he was ably supported by
his company Mr. Crest6n Clarke made
another hit, and he was often applauded.

THE sCAvENGER DEPARTMENT.

A Plan to Have the City Instead of a
Contractor Remove the Garbage.
The resolution of Alderman Thomas to
appoint committee to consider the advisa-
bility of the city's removing the garbage in
stead of having it done under contract is, said
Mr.. Thomas yesterday, the result of frequent
suggestions that the city could operate
scavenger department to great advantage,
and accomplish more by removing the
refuse itself. than by letting it out
to a contractor. In speaking of the
matter MIR. Thomas said that he
wished it to be understood that the Council
had no complaint to make against the way
in which the contractor has done his work,
but the new plan is considered because
probably the city may be able to obtain a
greater benefit from the outlay Of the same
amount of money.
The city will not be able to remove the
garbage any cheaper by having its own de-
partment, than by letting the work under
contract, but there are many different
pieces of work that need attention during the
year, and no matter how carefully the con-
tract is drawn it is impossible TO include
them all. After the contract is made the
contractor cannot be compelled 70 attend to
them, but if the city had a scavenger de-
paItment of its own this difficulty would
not arise. The teams and carts could also
be utilized in other departments, and
in that case there would be a
saving. The creation of the
department would involve heavy outlay
at first. Teams, carts and harness would
have to be bought and stables built, and
superintendent would have TO be provided,
but after the first outlay the expenses of
operating the department would certainly
not be greater than under the contract sys-
tenn, but the benefits would The commit
tee will also consider the suggestion to burn
all the refuse. except the manure This
would be "a healthful disposition of it, and
after the necessary appliances had been pro-
vided there would be little or no expense.
The present contract will expire in January,
but the committee will make its report as
soon as it can consider the matter.
